without new content bl will suffer

[deleted_user_19610]

i play a game called overwatch and right now it's having a huge content drought. people are leaving left and right because nothing new and exciting is happening. the exact same thing is happening to bl. player numbers have dropped substantially. there are so many games but only a handful of them get truly played. I get it, there's only a couple of people who do the coding for the server, but if major content releases come out this slowly player numbers will continue to plummet. you can churn out as many maps as you want but they clearly aren't bringing in any new players. maybe other leading factors are, you know, brokenlens isn't a featured server, and i know that for bl to become one certain popular features would have to be taken out. bl isn't advertised well enough. no one really knows about bl.

out of every server ive ever played on brokenlens feels the nicest to come onto. so many other more popular servers are constantly asking for you to give them money, and i am well aware that money is what keeps servers going but it gets a bit much sometimes. brokenlens doesn't do that. yeah there are some vip stuff but they aren't big things and you're not constantly reminded everywhere you look that in order to get *insert thing* you need a rank.

anyway, im rambling. point is, it makes me sad watching a server i spent 3 years playing on just die when it could be so much more popular than it is. i rarely play anymore. the games i like are deader than my social life and that's saying something,

idk man. sometimes it feels like they dont care what happens to brokenlens anymore.

True. I think brokenlens should consider working with/targeting well-known content creators on advertising the server(or a part of it)

I don't really agree. Broken lens has at least 2000 players active all the time. That's more than some of the official servers. I don't think BrokenLens needs to advertise getting a rank any more. Loads of people have ranks and the server is doing fine in terms of money. Personally, forums is what really should be advertised.

you gotta realize making a new game just doesnt happen out of nowhere. it takes careful developing to make it. so, theres obviously gonna be a short period of nothing happening.

it's not more than any of them except that roleplaying server

I like BrokenLens. It stands out. It’s unique and original. Although I like it, it feels as if it’s “incomplete”, unfinished, unpolished, and can have some improvements.

2000 daily players playing is good but it’s where I can’t really find them becomes a problem. And the fact that the big games are taking the lead, leave the minor games to rot or die out sometimes.

This may be my opinion but I feel like BrokenLens is NOT ready or it needs more fixing. There are problems I have with BrokenLens: unbalanced kits, games of unfairness, and/or games that don’t even feel like the intended point or objective of the game.

But then, can we really frustrated with 2 individuals that hold this whole thing? Yes and no. It’s ok to be frustrated but have a bit of sympathy for them. I just think that Vertx should ask more often to the people of what they want or think. Ask them for opinions on what he should add. Polls.
Something that bothers me is how 1 person asks for a change to be added and the gets added while there are suggestions that a lot of people favor yet it’s still not approved?

Overall I think Vertx or whoever should add things that the majority of the people like and not just add something that one person says. Not saying Vertx can’t have surprise updates or something similar to that, but rather collect the opinions, solve the problem, and then release it!

Time is what I don’t mind. But I hate that people tease you of something that will come up soon only to later figure out that it was a lie and that you need to wait more than what was anticipated.

This “essay” if you will, was not intended towards you entirely but anyone who is reading that can relate or just cares about the problems I discussed.

Yes, I feel every word you say. In my opinion advertising and product placements with big content creators would help so much, I mean almost everyone started playing on Brokenlens because he saw a video about a Minecraft Pe Server list

I disagree that vertx should listen to the majority. Not many people think of the most original and best ideas. Vertx should listen to individual ideas that are received decently or better. Individual ideas make the games more original or even better. Plus there is also bias from large groups of players that makes good change hard especially in the PVP metagame. For example, when I suggested a buff to the warrior kit, people didn't like it because they didn't want to fight another COMPLETELY BALANCED kit. On the opposite end, when I suggested the farmer kit nerf, everyone loved the idea. People were posting threads about that way before I did, and people were becoming angry with the kit, including ME!! What it led to, was an overkill nerf that made the kit only decent. This isn't the only thing that this could do, it could make some way worse things things happen, and for actually good ideas to not get added. There's loads of revolutionary ideas out there that haven't even been experimented about because people will make a terrible excuse on why it shouldn't be added because it would change the game in ways they don't know how it would happen. Because of the majority, we get unoriginal, and terrible stuff. Look at mobwars, a game I despise. It got added because people wanted a form of bedwars on BRLNS. It is terribly balanced, filled with bowspammers, and unoriginal.

Something that’s always been so funny to me is how quickly people are able to jump to conclusions, Vertx does care about BrokenLens - he works morning and night all day everyday and literally never stops, like I’ll fuss at him because he’ll overwork himself SO much that he’s forcing his body to keep his eyes open and get stuff done.

You guys have to understand that Vertx does all the coding himself, I’m pretty sure edw helps with other things like the app or discord but I believe the majority of it is simply Vertx. He’s one single man doing so much for absolutely everybody and nobody ever considers it enough, I mean sure, the server is indeed quieter but I swear there’s always so many people who complain as if they’d be able to put as much hard work into the amount of things Gabriel does. If anything he cares so much to the point he puts himself second, maybe forth or fifth honestly. like just the other day he was woken up at 2 in the morning to fix something, he didn’t have to do that. He could’ve said forget it I’ll do it in the morning and go right back to bed because god knows it’s hard randomly being woken up, being so tired yet still having to do stuff. You’re groggy and your face / body feels heavy cause it’s like, literally the middle of the night. Who would want that? Nobody.

BrokenLens honestly deserves so much more popularity, the amount of hard work and dedication that goes into it all is soo unnoticed, like I’ve played on so many other servers and nothing has ever felt as welcoming as Brlns does - you’re right about other servers constantly wanting money, there’s always so much going on I normally get confused as frick (TεT)

I understand everyone’s frustration and concern, we want the new game out and the Brlns network to be just as popular as everyone else does but it’s so thoughtless to say it seems like we don’t ‘care’ sometimes. Even the staff and myself will stay up hours upon hours checking up on things yet people still complain about ‘nothing ever gets done’. new maps are new maps, it’s new content and not just a band-aid to put over the fact the new game isn’t out yet, our build team is constantly working on new maps for people and that goes really unnoticed as well, I mean if we put out the new game with 1-2 maps then you doods would complain about that too, the point is we still need maps regardless of the fact some people might be sick of simply getting that. There were new particles not too long ago even, like sure it’s not ‘much’ but it’s still something.

just because your suggestion hasn’t been taken into consideration or looked at yet doesn’t mean the server is complete trash, or because you dislike one game doesn’t mean others think the same. (My reply isn’t exactly towards you or anyone else, just a general thought.)

Sometimes I feel like the player count is wrong. It says there are 70 players on a dead game sometimes when there are like 10 players.

I should of elaborated more one that paragraph but yes I agree what you mean. Each paragraph I wrote hinted towards or targeted a specific part of my complaints. Yes that’s kinda what I was going for when I wrote that. That Vertx should add things the majority of the people approve too that seems less time consumin and/or minor things that can make the server look a bit polished or a bit satisfying if that is understandable. I’m sorry if you thought I was going for you. I don’t play SkyWars a lot so I didn’t want to be apart of it.

Some (sometimes most) people don’t even treat him like a human being, they’ll go nuts or won’t even explain their point of view properly, he does indeed check all the sections on the forums, although there might not be much communication he clearly listens to things people suggest - like changing the amount of chicken on farmers kit for example. There’s a lot of stuff that’ll eventually come or be worked on / added but for now you guys have to be patient and understand things take time, lots of it, especially whenever it’s a one man team.

communication is always great and of course there could always be more of it, but he definitely doesn’t just ignore what people want.
